Gonna Pump....You Up!
Today's Quiz
Okay boys and girls, we're going to take a little quiz here. Which one of these buff dudes is vegetarian?
 Buff dude #1 |  Buff dude #2 |  Buff dude#3 |
The correct answer is....(drum roll)....all three of them. The first buff dude is vegetarian and the other two are totally vegan.
These pictures are taken from VeganBodyBuilder.com. The first photo is of Zachary Hocker, the winner of the 2004 PETA Sexiest Vegetarian Alive Contest.
How the heck do these guys pack on the muscles on a vegetarian diet? Awhile ago, I wrote a post on sources of vegetarian protein, you can check it out there. Like their meat-eating counterparts, to bulk up, vegetarian bodybuilders spread out their meals to 5 or 6 a day and do their weightlifting workouts 3 to 4 days a week. They also make sure that their meals are protein packed, which is not a problem on a vegetarian diet. And like their meat-eating counterparts, vegetarian bodybuilders consume nutrient-rich food that provides enough carbs, vitamins, minerals, and fats. A certain amount of fat is needed, because some vitamins cannot be absorbed without it (fat-soluble Vitamins A, D, E, and K).
I just want to get the word out that, yes, bodybuilding on a vegetarian diet is a viable option. And a healthy one at that.
Now...back to our regularly scheduled program, some pictures of yummilicious vegetarian food. The first one is spinach curry, second is crispy tofu with broccoli, and the third is fried purple string bean (which turned green after cooking).

wah~~~ Dennis!! I though Phan is the one post all those hot hunks. How come it turned to be by her honey?? -_-"
Anyway hor~ Thanks!! such a nice one. ^_^ I like #3, not too much. #1 would be nice if the Neng Neng smaller. Too big, even bigger than fish fish one. *eh hem* *cough cough cough*
Vegetarian Banzai!!!
i will take buff dude 1&3
Go Vegan Power!! I'm vegan too!
fish fish,
You think so? Phan thinks it's sexy if I had neng neng like that. I think it will take me 6 months of work outs before I can get half that size, hehe.
Anyhow, thanks for sharing with us the size of your neng neng, haha.
Bill German,
I'm sure buff dude #1 & 3 appreciates that. ^_^
eabha,
Yeah, vegans of the world, unite! ;o)
Mmmm to the men and the dishes. hehe!
dennis, I have a qn, because it seems if you wana build muscle you eat protein? but it seems you also need protein to lose fats!
so if i eat alot of protein will I end up muscle-ly instead of skinny?
kristy,
In that order? ;o)
becca,
Hmmm, I haven't heard about eating protein to lose fat. In fact, if you eat too much protein and don't exercise, some of that protein will be converted to fat.
If you want to build up strength, the key is to do some weight lifting exercises. Just eating lots of protein by itself won't build muscles. With that said, bodybuilders do need to consume more protein than the sedentary person.
Before you start any special workouts or diet program, make sure to check with your doctor first.
i think once u start posting profits, u shld DEFINITELY consider doing franchise for yr vegan restaurant and the first branch u shld set up is right here in San Francisco! =)
feeling hungry just looking at the dishes and the spinach curry reminds me of my favorite indian curry - saag paneer. mmmmm
